Sony today held its PlayStation Meeting 2005 over in its homeland of Japan. Quite a few new trailers for upcoming PlayStation 3 games were shown, mostly of games from Japanese developers that we hadn't seen before. Head over to IGN PS3 to check those out.

On the PSP front, Sony unveiled its forthcoming major BIOS upgrade which will take it to version 2.0. While past BIOS updates did little more than add preventative methods to stop hackers from running emulators and copied games, the 2.0 upgrade adds a whole slew of brand new and enhanced functionality.

The major upgrade is Internet connectivity, something that hackers figured out was coming quite a while ago; it'll finally be here soon. As well, the update includes better video support, better image support (like custom backgrounds and the ability to share images over an ad-hoc network) and more.

There's quite a bit of info in there, including images and even a movie, so check out these stories for the scoop.
